EV of the Year – Kia EV9

Kia EV9

The Kia EV9 won the top electric car award, as ‘EV of the Year’. Judges praised the fully electric seven-seat SUV for its uncompromising space, comfort and premium-grade equipment.

Tim Rose, Editor of AM, said: “Kia has brought many superb new cars to the UK in recent years, but the fully electric EV9 is its most exciting yet. Even though it is Kia’s highest priced model ever, our dealer readers are confident there’s a place in the market for it and voted it the best new ‘EV of the Year’. The EV9 is a truly impressive large electric SUV that is ideal for bigger families which want to cut their carbon footprint without compromising on space, comfort and premium-grade equipment.”

Winner of both the ‘World Car of the Year’ and ‘UK Car of the Year’, the EV9 is Kia’s latest flagship model. The SUV is available with three trim grades and six- or seven-seat configurations. Built on the E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform), the car benefits from outstanding practicality, ride quality, and performance. With a standard 99.8kWh battery residing in the base of the car and 800V charging capability, the EV9 is capable of up to 349 miles* of range from a single charge and 154 miles of range added from a 15-minute recharge**, when using the fastest charge points.

Used Car of the Year – Kia Sportage

Kia Sportage

The Sportage – Kia’s most popular model across the UK and globally – won ‘Used Car of the Year’ for the second year in a row.

Tim Rose commented: “Yet again the Kia Sportage has been voted by our dealer readers as the best used car in the market. Thanks to its practicality, comfort, standard equipment and reassuring warranty they know it will attract buyers, so there is always plenty of demand for this forecourt favourite. It is a standout winner.”

The Sportage is often listed in the UK’s top ten best-selling cars list. Spanning five generations, the Sportage is the quintessential family SUV offering practicality and efficient powertrains, with the latest generation available with electrified engine options to further enhance its already impressive economy.

The Sportage won ‘New Car of the Year’ in the 2022 AM Awards, followed by ‘Used Car of the Year’ in 2023.

Chippenham Motor Company Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd's permissions as a Principal Firm allows Chippenham Motor Company Ltd and MRG to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
